    We have this project we're supplying pipe bollards for. They changed the finished length for a bunch of them so we have about 150, 12" cut-offs. We're trying to figure out something to do with them instead of scrapping them.
    • 10" Sch. 40 (10.750" OD)
    • .365" wall
    • 29.9 lbs/ft
    Any ideas?

    Good idea but they use 4"-6" for bollards in commercial applications around here. These 10"'s are for a State job, just a weee bit of overkill.

    Weld bottom rounds on them and use then as pots for plants?

    Cut them in half and use as Terra cotta style roof shingles? 464677fb5152045305b55f953a1f85d9.jpg

    Or armor plate your truck?

    scrap..........or save them looking for ways to use them, then scrap them when you are tired of moving them around

    Sink them in private ponds. They will be great structure for fishies to hide in. If you don't tell people where they are, your buddies will wonder why you are catching all the fish :)

    Make a ring of them, fill them with rocks or gravel, and use as a fire pit?
    Sink four of them in the ground, add vertical lumber supported with gravel, and stack wood inside?

    Fasten them to a back board in the garage or barn and use them for storing tools, bolts, etc.

    cut them in 1/2 or mabye 3/4 secure to a shelf and use to hold your smaller size pvc, black pipe or copper in should work nice to stop them from rolling around and will take less shelf space.
